2026 Olympics Team Event - Strategy, Predictions & Discussion

[ice coverage]

The US women often go somewhere else to train because there is such a big time gap between the Opening ceremonies and the women's event. In 2018, I think they went to Japan and back.

Chuncheon, South Korea, was the training site in 2018 for Team USA figure skaters.

"The U.S. team spent much of its time at the Olympics practicing a couple of hours away in Chuncheon, South Korea."

The Chuncheon site was not just for the women. I remember that according to Mirai, Vincent discovered at the eleventh hour that he accidentally packed his Opening Ceremony uniform in luggage that already had been sent to Chuncheon. Luckily, an extra Opening Ceremony uniform somehow was found for Vincent.

(Separate comment in reply to the person who referred to C/B cheering at the team event:
No need to snark about other U.S. dancers who perhaps were not there -- I don't remember one way or the other.
Not taking anything away from C/B, but Evan did have an official role as Team Captain for the U.S. skaters. I think he spoke on behalf of Team USA at press conferences for the team event.)
